The new Star League Constitution was built largely on the framework of the original, with the important exception of the role of First Lord. While the original First Lords were all members of House Cameron, the new position would be held on a rotating basis, with the leader of each member nation serving a three-year term and unable to serve again until every other nation's leader had already served. The position is also largely a ceremonial one, though the First Lord possess the authority to, among other things, appoint the Commanding General of the Second Star League's military.[3][4][5]

The Second Star League Defense Force was created during the First Whitting Conference and prosecuted the destruction of Clan Smoke Jaguar with Operation Bulldog and Operation Serpent. Though the ultimate goal of the Second Star League was to create a wholly independent SLDF, due to the small number of so called "core" units, the organization relied heavily upon preexisting units from each member-state. Such units were donated for fixed periods of service and operated per the SLDF Chain of Command. [6]
